Thomas' Calculus Early Transcendentals : Based on the Original Work by George B. Thomas, Jr Hardback
by Maury Weir, Joel Hass, Frank R. Giordano, George Thomas
Hardback
Description
This is the most comprehensive revision of "Thomas' Calculus" in 25 years.
The new edition of "Thomas" is a return to what "Thomas" has always been: the book with the best exercises.
For the 11th edition, the authors have added exercises cut in the 10th edition, as well as exercises and examples from the classic 5th and 6th editions.
The book's theme is that Calculus is about thinking; one cannot memorize it all.
The exercises develop this theme as a pivot point between the lecture in class, and the understanding that comes with applying the ideas of Calculus.
In addition, the table of contents has been refined, introducing transcendentals in the first seven chapters.
Many of the examples have been trimmed of distractions and rewritten with a clear focus on the main ideas.
The authors have also excised extraneous information in general and have made the technology much more transparent.
The ambition of "Thomas 11e" is to teach the ideas of Calculus so that students will be able to apply them in new and novel ways, first in the exercises but ultimately in their careers. Every effort has been made to insure that all content in the new edition reinforces thinking and encourages deep understanding of the material.
